Back to Hogwarts tag

It’s September! There’s an autumnal nip in the air, the pumpkin spice lattes are brewing and… I’m on my way to Hogwarts! My trunk is packed, my spellbooks are dusted off, my wand’s stuffed into my cloak. I’ve got my Remembrall (the most useless magical item in the entire Wizarding World, by the way), my broomstick and my black cat, and I’m ready to rock up to platform 9¾. Get your wands at the ready, because it’s time to go home: Hogwarts.

Have to go shopping in Diagon Alley! What store do you go to first?

Ooh, tough question! I’d love to spend the whole day exploring Diagon Alley, soaking up all of its magical goodness. My first stop would have to be Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. Although it’s primarily a joke shop, it seems as though it sells so much more than that! I’d wanna stock up on magical fireworks, get me a cute little pygmy puff and buy a love potion.

Provided I had enough Galleons left, I’d definitely hit up Rosa Lee Teabags for some magical tea with my pals (I can’t get enough of a good cuppa), before wondering around Flourish and Blotts to read some ancient magical tomes. I’d also head to Magical Menagerie to buy all of the most delightful gifts for my black lil’ feline. To finish up the day, I’d go to Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour- who could resist getting some magical ice cream?!

.

You’re on the train! What are you getting from the trolley?

I mean, the first thing that came to my mind was a chocolate frog or seven, but thinking about it… I’d probably feel weird attempting to eat something that was jumping around the train carriage. With that said, I’d probably pick up Pumpkin Pasty. After all that ice cream from Florean’s, I’d need something savoury. Maybe washed down with some sweet, sweet magical coffee.

Also, I wouldn’t “take the lot”. Jesus Harry, maybe some of the other kids wanted some sweets? Rude.

.
It’s time for the welcome feast! Which house table are you at?

I’m a proud Slytherin, through and through. I’d be repping my house pride with my green tie and snake pin, hissing at anyone who dares say that we’re evil. Listening to Dumbledore utter ‘nitwick, blubber, ointment and tweak’, snacking on all the delightful food Hogwarts has to offer, sneaking in some mulled wine… I’d be having the time of my life.

We’re not evil, just… misunderstood. But we’ll still hex you. Besides, Draco’s sat on the Slytherin table, so I guess I don’t have any other choice.

You get an elective this year! What will it be?

Can I just get a Time Turner and study them all, ala Hermione style, please? No? Okay, if I had to choose just one, it’d probably be Care of Magicial Creatures. Getting to hang out with baby dragons and hippogriffs would be so awesome! There’s also Art as an extra curricular activity, which I’d totally do. Imagine painting, but with magic!

.
You’ve got a break between classes! What will you be doing?

Oh God, everything and anything. I’d be a total nerd if I was at Hogwarts – I’d constantly be studying. I mean, it is magic, after all! So I’d probably be in the library for quite a bit of my time. I’d also explore the castle, looking to discover its many, many secrets. Oh, and that magical bath looks heavenly. Minus the ghost lurking in the waters.

.
You get to go to Hogsmeade this year! Where do you go first?

The Three Broomsticks. Sign me up for a delicious cup of warm Butterbeer by the raging fires, watching the snow fall outside, while I catch up with my BFFs Draco and Luna. I’d head into town for some shopping, then swing back by the cozy magical pub once again. What a dream come true.

.
You’re meeting up with friends to hang out! Where in the castle are you all going to chill?

I’d definitely hang out by the Forbiden Forest (though I wouldn’t delve too deep…), and by the lake, seeing if we could spot the giant squid.

I’d spend most of my time with my bros in the Slytherin common room, though, with that delictable dim lighting and luscious leather chairs lining the place.

I’d also chill in the Ravenclaw common room for a change of pace every now and then, it looks so light and airy up there!

The Room of Requirement would be one I’d frequent often, too. Provided I could find it…

The end of year exams are coming up. What test will you do the best at?

I think I’d be quite the dab-hand at Charms, you know. I’d spend hours memorising the phrases and wand movements to get them just right, learning useful little tricks that’ll benefit my day to day wizard life. I’d also be pretty good at Defence Agains the Dark Arts. After all, you never know when you might accidentally take a stroll down Knockturn Alley…

I'm Jack, and I run this little blog called Screen Streams!
This is the place to get the good stuff on all things to do with streaming; whether that's the sickest songs to hit Spotify, or the best shows to stick on Netflix (and chill).
I'm 25, live in the UK, and have an unhealthly obsession with my phone.
